Yahoo! Movies has just released the second theatrical trailer for Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. So far, based on the previous trailer as well as this one, this latest adaptation of the Marvel comic looks like it will at least top the original – which really shouldn’t be that hard. Directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor (Crank) really do have quite a bit riding on this film, since the first one by director Mark Steven Johnson just didn’t really work. Looks like they could actually pull it off! Hit the jump to watch!

Official Synopsis:

Nicolas Cage returns as Johnny Blaze in Columbia Pictures’ and Hyde Park Entertainment’s Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. In the successor to the worldwide hit Ghost Rider, Johnny – still struggling with his curse as the devil’s bounty hunter – is hiding out in a remote part of Eastern Europe when he is recruited by a secret sect of the church to save a young boy (Fergus Riordan) from the devil (Ciaran Hinds). At first, Johnny is reluctant to embrace the power of the Ghost Rider, but it is the only way to protect the boy – and possibly rid himself of his curse forever. Directed by Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor. Screenplay by Scott M. Gimple & Seth Hoffman and David S. Goyer. Story by David S. Goyer. Based on the Marvel Comic. Produced by Steven Paul, Ashok Amritraj, Michael De Luca, Avi Arad, and Ari Arad.

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, directed by Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor, stars Nicolas Cage, Idris Elba, Ciarán Hinds, Christopher Lambert, Johnny Whitworth, Violante Placido and Fergus Riordan. The film is slated to hit theaters nationwide February 17, 2012!
